Once we finally made it to Houston on our road trip, we had a pool party to celebrate everyone being together and 2 birthdays in our family, Melia turning 1 and Travis turning 25! We swam, ate pizza and cupcakes, opened presents and played some girls vs. boys pool volleyball, which the girls won :)
The next morning, we headed down to Galveston to board our ship, The Carnival Conquest!
On the ship, we had fun playing games, attending the trivia/shows, eating at the many various places to eat, and just spending time together as a family.
Every night we had a nice sit down dinner in the Renoir Dining room.
Our waiter was named Dennis from Croatia. We got to know him really well throughout the week and we really enjoyed him! He loved kids, which is good considering our group had quite a few of them :)
Every night after dinner we came back to our room to find a neat towel animal on our bed! It was always fun to come see what creation we'd find! We took a picture of McKinley with our towel creation every night. Here are a few of my favorites!
On the ship, I was selected to participate in a trivia game show, which I won :) My prize was a ship on a stick!
Our first stop was in the Bahamas at Naussau. We spent the day there playing on the beach! We rented some jet skis and played on those for a while and enjoyed some fun in the sun!
Our next stop was on another island in the Bahamas at Freeport. There we went to another beach and went on a boat ride and saw some nice homes, a ship from the Pirates of the Caribbean movie, and some dolphins.
The Bahama Mama!
The boys all got hats from a shop called The Mad Hatter hat shop. Here they are showing off their new hats.
We had such a great time on the cruise visiting fun new places and spending time with my whole family! It was a relaxing, fun, exciting week! We can't wait for our next big adventure! Here is McKinley ready to go on the next trip :)
Looks like you had such a fun time. So glad you could all go together. What wonderful memories you will have!
